Ah back when Ben Simmons was in his prime...
😂
best comment here
Great talent, poor mentality. He relied too much on what he had without trying to add more weapons and perfect his game
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
6 years later, he passes up a wide open dunk 🤦♂️
Walmart Magic
Soft
He's still a rookie though
He lost his heart
Orlando magic
It’s crazy how this popped in the recommended after the hawks series
It’s not crazy at all. That’s how recommendations work. When some people search for this video, CZcams recommends that video and pushes it out as recommendations.

Made more 3’s in this vid than his entire nba career 😂

I was just seeing if he could shoot at point in time

Well, but he don't deserve it... Simmoms rookie year was better.
@@LeoKinhg goofy ass donovan deserved it way more. check the stats
@@popout1488 goofy Donovan only averaged more points. Ben averaged more assists and rebounds and shot 54.5% compared to Donovan Mitchell 43.7% 🤦🏽♂️
The dude's pulling up from three off the dribble seriously what happened to him now
Yeah he has somehow become a worse shooter since high school lol
I was thinking this too! I lost count of how many jump shots he took 😄
Who shook his confidence???!!
His dad changed his form of his jumpshot from shooting left hand to right hand that’s why he can’t shoot anymore
@@thespedshed6963 giannis also had a smooth jumper and a shooting coach messed him up as well. I swear some people are dumb as fuck
Confidence lol he was the man in HS
Ben Simmons deadass peaked in high school 😭😭
I mean he did play in the nba. People that truly peaking in high school don’t even make it past college.
@@shaunakkulkarni4679 I think he means his game did like he didn’t develop
Same with Andrew Wiggins.
I’m never judging players by their high school tapes ever again.
@@Terror832 money can does you wonder. I bet when you got 10 millions usd you would be lazy to go to work.
So did Zion and Lonzo
I think it’s all mental for Ben at this point in his life.
@Chris Smith exactly how tf is he getting paid 30m a year? Theirs players WAY better than him not even close to that type of money.
@@eviltwiiin there are a lot of guys getting paid who cant shoot free throws. These playoffs are filled with bad free throw shooting. Some of the worst I have ever seen.

Man he looks so confident here, he is literally a shell of himself in the NBA
It’s cuz he got all that money
Because he has so much money right now , so he just chill to play basketball not to become stronger
I think its because he knew he was better than a lot of the kids, he probably got a reality check at the nba (not saying he’s not good)
@@moufou4life Even his rookie year he had that fire in his eyes can’t say the same for now
@@moufou4life he isn't good at all.... The hype around him is literally his height as a PG... That's all he has
The perfect example of someone who peaked in high school..
Then he wouldn't have made the NBA
@@andrebryant5081 I think he could have made the NBA with his high school talent he had, but he surely has improved since then. There are several NBA-ready players out of high school, and I think Ben was one of them.
He can’t shoot, that’s it. He does everything else on the floor great
@1-800-Wavy you’d be suprised
This didn't age well. Jk I still believe in him.
Came here to be reminded that this guy was amazing. Look at the perfect ball rotation and form on his jumper. All mental.
Who else came here looking to see if he made a 3
He does at 1:26
LMFAOO MEEE
At 3:03
Ike Morgan his shot was wet I honestly don’t see why he doesn’t even attempt them anymore he could easily be one of the best players in the NBA if he had a jump shot
Caleb Cook I mean highschool line is way closer. I don't think he's even attempted one yet which is odd to me. But he won't ever have a fluid junpshot. No one comes in completely awful and then eventually it completely turns around
You can tell his confidence dropped drastically
@@BackgroundDude that doesn't explain why he shouldnt have a single shot out on fourth quarter game 7.
He’s rich now, he’s lost that hunger to
@@wirshl7141 he has no confidence in his free throw ability thus not wanting to take any shots or even contribute during crunch time.

@@wirshl7141 great then I just explained why he didn't take a shot during the fourth quarters.
“When we needed him the most he vanished……..”
If Ben watched this today he’d probably cry 😭
I wonder if Ben Simmons watched his old highlights would he get better.
If I was him i would feel bad seeing how good was a couple years ago
Not unless you take his money away from him, so that he actually has a reason to improve his game
@@razvanandreiantonescurogoz4236 there should honestly be a clause in them contracts after you sign if you bs a few years after the money gets taken away
i wonder the same damn thing
I bet he’s crying eating ice cream while watching this.
Future Guangdong Tigers legend... 🔥🔥🔥
Hahaha
😂😂😂
Damn that’s crazy that they got all 5 of his high school jump shots in one video
He made more threes in this mixtape then his whole nba career
Lol, he seemed more confident shooting in high school then he does now.
Way bigger stage
I swear
@@williamrichardson57 so?
@@westbeast8293 so the pressure is in his head obviously…. And teams are way more prepared to stop him. When you’re 6’8 in HS it’s easy to bulldoze kids who aren’t as developed as you.
99% was in the paint shots against smaller defenders
I love how this showed up on my recommended after the series, like “hey remember when I used to be good”
I was 14 when this was posted 🥲
CZcams did him dirty recommending this video right after the hawks series 😭☠️
Everybody catching the recommending...just catch mind 5:42am lol
Someone tell him he will pass up game tying bucket in a few years he probably wouldn't believe it.

Ben needs to watch this & motivate himself cause he's got the abilities..
He ain't the best one on the courts anymore. He can't show out when all the opponents are equal skill level. Clearly in HS everyone was trash
@@scottbeaulieu8192 they aren’t equal skill level though. How many other players in the league are 6’11 and dribble/pass like an elite guard? He obviously has the talent he’s just not confident and is scared to look bad which is ironic because by not shooting he does look bad
@@tomdemeter462 exactly he needs to apply himself
@@scottbeaulieu8192 clearly you’ve never played if you think that evreyone in hs is trash
Man gtfoh Ben is straight trash he’s lucky to be in the nba still and not playing in China or euro league
They are so funny for recommending this now
Confidence is everything. Don’t lose it. I’d take this raw version Ben over the one we have now.
This Ben Simmons would school the current Ben Simmons and then talk s**t to him after he punked out on a wide open layup
this guy has the potential to win multiple roty trophies
Kabir Bariana this might be the best comment ever 😂😂😂
Lmaooo
Still true lmao
He will win rookie of the year in china, japan korea,africa, nsorth pole antartica, south pole, moon and mars..
Bro the talent is insane now he needs to bounce back
Is there a highlight of him making a free throw?
What kinda highlight reel has a freethrow? L
0:47 is the best pass I’ve seen in my life by anyone
1:05 ben simmons made a 3 wtf ???😱😱
I mean the hs 3pt line is a lot closer, so if you wanna get technical it was just a long 2pt shot
form looked so clean too
home9dog2blue there isn’t a goal in basketball
@home9dog2blue no it's not lol
@@Brian-kr7bw yea there is kinda. Field goals are when the ball goes in the hoop. Each field goal is either 2 or 3 points. Thats the analogy. Besides fts
His form actually looked decent. This guy is long gone...
I still remember being excited about him coming into the league. I thought this man was about to be something crazy!
He sure did! Who wouldn’t pass a wide open dunk when facing the elite rim protection from Trae Young😂
his ambidextrousness is insane . nba players don't have that ability to finish , dunk with either hand and take off with either foot that well. haven't seen anyone with that level of two handedness since scottie pippen , mac and mj
Not even lebron had ambidexterity like this even though he is fully ambidextrous
Matteo Beats yeah i was just frontin, sayin he was he best since anyone- he s the best at it yet. Ever. and he's in HS. that talent alone will allow him to finish in the L as well as anyone, straight away at 19. the next great player- not the most athletic, but just the best.
John Wall and Deandre Jordan have it too (although Deandre is almost exclusively a two footed leaper).

So your telling me this man could make a jumper in high school but that disappears in the nba somehow?
Man! I’m like????
the nba is way harder competition
@@J.J.Redick no duh lmao he should still be able to make jump shots in the NBA
@@J.J.Redick Ben Simmons is bigger, faster and stronger than 99% of the kids in this tape. And somehow he STILL is compared to most of his NBA matchups 😭 yet he lost all his aggression.
@@A.eortega who said he couldn’t? he doesn’t take them lmao
He literally looked like a modern day Magic Johnson here. It’s insane how he just never chose to develop his game in any way. Imagine if he had spent any time developing a jump shot?
0:12 same energy as what he did during game 7 😂
Crazy how his game is the exact same since this
maybe worse 😔
hell no he’s actually shooting and attacking in this Ben now does neither
5 × 3s. All looked very natural. Why this disappeared from his game ! He could've been anything as Kobe hinted. I blame Brett Brown for not pushing him enough in his Rookie years . Doc Rivers didn't help . Despite the "Accountability " speeches earlier in the season. But of course Ben should blame himself. I dont believe he has a good work ethic. There were empty arenas during the past 2 seasons that he could've taken advantage of. Tried a few things offensively. All players brick shots from time to time . Its part of the learning curve. Why and how he developed this ridiculous fear !! Front office has to accept some of the blame too. For not allowing there to be consequences. Theyve had failed finals campaigns where Ben did the same thing.
At least he shot the ball
if this ben was playing, the sizers would’ve won
Give Ben some slack, his still a rookie.
bro got like 8 rookie seasons left
Cant believe this is still being said
lol 😂
Ben Simmons like that kid that keeps getting held back in high school.
Rookie mistakes versus the hawks🤣✌
The cowards coming back after a decade to hate is beyond me a bunch of bums that could never make they high school team let alone the pros judging Ben
he's everything i need him to be now man, so confident at his ability to shoot so well
This man had more highlights in high school then the entirety of his post seasons in the NBA.
Where the fuck was this Ben Simmons at in the playoffs?
He quite literally looked like the next lebron
No cap
He defintely has it...would love to see him put it all together...rootin for ya indeed!
He's Magic Johnson reincarnated. No 6'9" player should be able to move, pass, dribble, and shoot like a PG.
+John Ubans exactly what the Lakers need.
John Ubans only if they can secure it.
John Ubans they looking like 0-82 right now. Kobe can try but he will break is back in the process and not get the W's.
John Ubans well that will be battle of the best tanker. Lakers are up for that.
John Ubans I know my team. I'm just mad we lost 2 and by horrible defense. We all know what Clarkson brings.Randle needs work. He is to predictable, he could fix it in 10-20 games. DLo needs a ton of work. He should be ready next year. We ain't winning a championship this year though (which is the only thing we accecpt here in LA) so if we gona suck may as well tank like a motherfucker and try and get Ben.
The light skin is taking over the NBA
leon scott Blake griffin, Stephen curry, Zach Levine, Klay Thompson, and many many more

Fuck happened to you 😂😂
Notice at 0:35 that Ben crosses his opponent leaving him wide open and then doesn’t shoot. This is a sign of things to come
I’m high school he can play. It in the nba can’t produce a single bucket . His confidence is lost . Man he need to get with it
He played like this in summer league and slowly regressed every year so on I don’t know what it is if it was the 40 pounds the 6ixers made him put on, mental health, or that injury that made him fully lose confidence
its the level of the nba where even a scrub would be considered a top player in high school/college.
@@NAC_11359 I think it mental and confidence. I think his mind is on women and spending his money . He really doesn’t care if they win or lose . He just racking up money .
@@swooc true . Any body can play . Just gotta show heart and hustle

With the first pick in the 2016 NBA draft _ team selects Ben Simmons from LSU
1st pick you say
Yung indigo we aint fucking around. Ben will go first if the team is looking for a small forward
Or even a PF because he can play both well. He is built well and can rebound with some aggression. Post play will be a problem for him though because he can't just slam on everybody

Ben Simmons. Thon Maker. Dante Exum. Andrew Bogut. Patty Mills. Mathew Dellavadova. Aron Baynes. Brock Motum.
Australian national team could be scary good in the next couple of years.
SlittoDoesCovers I totally agree! Although I think with his history of injuries, the fact that he's not in his 20's anymore, and the fact that his nba team will likely be making deep playoff runs for a while, I wouldn't be surprised if Bogut doesn't play for Australia anymore. But maybe he could still join the team and just play real limited minutes and be more of a mentor role for all those young kids. You also must have forgot about Joe Ingles. He could be a very useful Point-forward type player for the team, either as a starter or backing up Simmmons. I'm not Australian, I just enjoy seeing basketball continue to grow internationally and I like that the USA doesn't necessarily have a guaranteed run at a championship every single year anymore... Australia is stacked with talent. Spain has guys like the Gasol bros, Ibaka, Rubio, Calderon, Fernandez and Rodriguez. Even Canada has some nice youth that could develop into great talent in a couple years with Wiggins, Olynyk, Thompson, Bennett?, Ennis, Stauskas, Lyles etc. France's core is gettig a little older, but anytime you have Parker, Batum, Diaw, Fournier and crew you'll have at least a chance to excel! Those are just a few examples. Basketball at an international level is better than ever.
Sai Ramesh I wouldn't go that far
***** 2020 mate, aus will be in prime and you'll sleep on us
***** Not all of them will go. That's the point. Those guys will win in 2016.. durant, westbrook and ad will have 2 so they probably won't go back.
Some people are forgetting basketball is the national game in the USA..it's not the national game anywhere else in the World, so Australia competing with the USA is unlikely. Unless basketball gains more interest and becomes more popular in other countries no one is getting near the USA.
Its crazy how he can pull up from deep in HS but never shoots a wide open shot on NBA .
